How did you name your town?
- Thread starter Annika.
- Start date
I got acnl about a week after Bravest Warriors debuted. I was really hyped for the show and couldn't figure out a better name for my town, so I named it Glendale after Time Station 1 on the Moon of Glendale from the first episode.

i love my zebras
Zebilage - I like saying the village
So I just combined it by saying the- village
But with zebra so "zeb" as the "ilage" village
Purely- sound like a diamond so it's a made up word that I just thought no inspiration or planning I just said it loud and there
Ratoulle - supposed to be ratatouille but 8 limit so I shorted the word
Sunlyn - sound a cute way for sun
and now my new town trilogy
Because everything it's 3
So yeah 3 color, 3 teams, each part will get 3 villager
So yeah plus trilogy mean 3 of the same group

I chose Pokepals for my town name because it was the name of my mystery dungeon team (before I came up with AquaticFlash) and I couldn't think of anything else.
LMAOO I can relate tbh

More seriously though, my main town is named Westeros from my Game of Thrones phase. Yurei is a haunted town and when I researched translations and other names for "ghost", this showed up, and I really liked it
I don't think my towns name is a real place (would be funny if it was though) or a fictional place, but I named my town after I made a town idea thread asking for ideas on what I should call my town use for pwps etc and somebody came up with the name Milk. I thought it sounded cute so from then on I started using it as my town name. I still have the town after 8 months of playing. I still love the name to this day. It's so short and sweet.
When I started Ruddyoak, I'd forgotten to have a character or town name in mind beforehand. (I don't know why; I've been playing AC since the GameCube.) When Rover asked my name, I thought "Oh, no!" I just told him my name is Athelwyn, since that's a character in an old Lord of the Rings computer game whose name I use sometimes. Then when Rover asked my town's name, I thought "Oh crap!" because I guess I was half asleep and hadn't seen that coming. (I started my town right before bed.) So I named it Ruddyoak, after an adorable young Ent from the same LotR game.
For a long time, I played the game with no real theme to my town--it was LotR in name only. But over the last months, I've been theming it like crazy. It has 3 LotR characters, plus mayor Athelwyn who is a modern-day librarian with a backstory that ties her in to LotR. I'm still working on it!

Riven. I named it after a world from the game with the same name.
Feldspar is both a mineral and a color. I wanted something unique, with a nice sound and no obvious connotations, so I looked up a list of color words and chose one. When I started my second town, I named it Flint, because that is also both a mineral and a color, and they start with the same letter, and I like patterns.

The past is obdurate
Well I guess mine is pretty obvious 
somewhat Zelda inspired...because I've always been a massive fan of Zelda games. Remember taking game magazines into school just so me and my friends could read about current games (primary school that is, so we were about 7/8).
Kind of wishing I could change it now and go for something a bit different but I will always have a soft spot for it now I think.
As for colourful town names, I love Latin, and believe the word laetus translates to colourful. You could also do single colour names or names related to colour - sunny, rouge, etc
